Strange interior light problem
I have noticed lately that the car interior lights only come on sometimes when either of the front doors are open. Quite by accident today I found out that if I open a door and the interior lights are off and then open and close the glovebox (making its interior light go on then off) then the car's interior lights will go on. They will then go off again after the time delay and the cycle can be repeated by opening then closing the glovebox. Weird eh!! Any bright ideas?

Phil - The "Doors open" graphic is triggered by a switch on the lock, while the interior lights are triggered by switches mounted in the front of the a-pillar and b-pillar. Which doesn't however explain a TZi with fancy alarm system fitted where all the interior lights trigger correctly from all 4 doors, but the rear-door symbols don't show up on the doors-open graphic.
I suspect a little bit of intervention when the alarm was fitted.
